That is one suspicion. I just couldn't think of how the #3 was full of it, and all the others are clean. (Well, just full of carbon...)
-
I was doing some general work and had the airbox off. Putting it back on, found the breather hose & the PAIR hose from the airbox were slightly perished, mostly the PAIR one. Ordered a new breather hose, (and cush drive rubbers while I was at it), but the PAIR hose is 'no longer available'. So I decided I might as well grab some block off plates instead... All went ok, but when I removed the PAIR inlets on the head, the 3 inlet had forbidden chocolate milkshake present. All others are ok. I immediately checked coolant and oil, no contamination present in either, and the interior of the cylinder looks ok too. Coolant reservoir is a little low, though...

That first one would never work. The flutes on one side are the wrong way!

I run 42F/R. I find that if it drops even that much, I have to hold it in corners as it wants to stand back up all the time.
-
That sounds like most of my riding! 😁 The BB is my daily commuter. It's right there in the name... CBR, Commuter Bike, Really!
-
Maybe. More likely most of my riding is commuting at constant speed down the motorway. Lots of distance, but fuck all acceleration.
-
Yeah. At the time I was doing an 80km each way commute with over half being straight down the motorway. at 80-120kph. I'd get ~18,000km out of a rear tyre... This is from the replacement '07 injected BB, (the '98 sadly sacrificed itself on the way home for me one day. It slid into the cheesecutter and threw me away from it.) I recently got a new phone that has an endoscope attachment, so when I was doing the plugs, I decided to have a look inside the cylinders. I've since run a bottle of cleaner through it, but haven't had another look.
-
Way back when I had my '98, I had an adjustable one installed. I had it maxed out at 6 degrees advance. Had to run 98RON fuel or it would ping, BUT, with the K&N airfilter, '00 headers, and Yoshi slip-ons, I consistently got 20km/L* and completely eliminated the ~5kRPM torque dip. (My '07 currently gets 18.5-19.5km/L by comparison.) * ~47.3mpg (US gallon) ~56.8mpg (Imperial gallon)

Tire ceramic/graphene, and cleaning brand new tires
Banshee replied to SwampNut's topic in The Garage
I wonder what aircraft would use it, though. Certainly not commercial. -
I haven't need much OEM lately, due to not riding as much the past few years. I mostly bought my OEM parts from the local Honda/etc. place in Penrith (I'm in the Blue Mountains), Western Motorcycles. Anything else I was searching up and ordering online.
-
You really should avoid the specs listed for Amazon LED torches then! They will not do your heart rate ANY good, whatsoever.
-
For me it's 42F/R. Any lower & the bike wants to stand up in corners.

How To Upload Photos & Insert Them In Your Posts
Banshee replied to tvking's topic in Board Tech Issues & Help
Can you tell me how to do it in the new board now? I can't find where to load pics and just get messages that I am "not allowed to use that extension"... -
I've had 2 sets of Angels. Only tyes so far where I have gone through 2 fronts to a rear instead of the other way around! I found them to be fairly quick steering, but not to the point of making me nervous with rapid tip in that made me feel like the front was going out the way many do.
-
Odd. I just asked for the 32005 & got a set that fitted perfectly. It does say, though: The top bearing used on the Blackbird (and many Hondas) is a non-standard size. It is marked ‘32005’, (this is an ISO standard bearing number) it has a 26mm I.D. rather than the 25mm I.D. you might expect.
